Advising and Academic Coaching Interest Group
Goals and Objectives

The function of the Advising and Academic Coaching Interest Group will be to address these areas more in-depth in a variety of ways. The main focus will be to address these issues by:

  • Developing a definition that combines advising and coaching;
  • Providing resources (workshops, sessions at conferences, on-line materials) for members to enhance coaching abilities;
  • Developing a listserve for members to issues, current trends, etc. on advising and coaching; and
  • Creating partnerships with organizations that focus on different aspects of coaching.
In the future, the Advising and Academic Coaching Interest Group will seek partnerships with other Commissions and Interest Groups (for example, the Advisor Training & Development Commission) to provide support and services that are beneficial to members of both groups.

Two-year goals:   Over the next two years, the chair and the steering committee plans to:

  1. offer at least one regional drive-in workshop each year focused on advising and coaching,
  2. solicit at least five proposals for each NACADA Annual Conference that focuses on different aspects of coaching,
  3. develop an on-line resource page that provides materials to members to support the coaching of students,
  4. develop a listserve for members to discuss various issues pertaining to coaching, and
  5. create partnerships with various coaching organization to provide support and resources to help develop advisors as coaches.

Diversity Charge:  This Interest Group will encourage members of different groups to provide information regarding the challenges of coaching students of different groups. This information may be in the form of workshops and presentations at conferences, discussions on the listserv, or any other avenue available to members for support.
